about
Pitched four years for the Philadelphia Athletics, and then played shortstop for seven years for the Montreal Expos. Taught Rickey Henderson to steal a base. Taught Nolan Ryan to throw a punch. Taught Mickey Mantle to drink a beer. Threw one seven-hitter and seven no-hitters. Wonderboy was my creation, and first Jobu shrine was in my locker. Often called "the next Jed Lowrie". Always wear high socks and eyeblack. Prefer to slide headfirst.

Yes, I go to a lot of baseball games. A ton, in fact- especially if you count spring training. I also go to college football games, NFL games, golf tournaments, NCAA basketball games, minor league games, NBA games, college baseball games and the horse track. Yes, that's a lot of sports. If there's a game being played or a race being run, I'm your girl.
No, I do not go to NASCAR races. That is not a sport.
Obviously, I'm a Red Sox fan, but I also follow the Cubs and Phillies. I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan (no boos, please), live and die with the Texas Longhorns, and am trying desperately to find a hockey team to care about... or, for that matter, trying desperately to care about hockey, period. I don't have a favorite NBA team-- but if pressed, I'd back the Houston Rockets. Brett Favre can do no wrong with me, Nolan Ryan and Vince Young are gods, I credit Craig Biggio with turning me into a die-hard baseball nut, and blame Roger Clemens for making me fall in love with the Red Sox.
And for the record:
